Spice Girls Preparing For Second Comeback?

The Spice Girls are hoping to regroup for another comeback tour – but the bandmembers are struggling to convince Victoria Beckham to return, according to a U.K. report.

The Wannabe hitmakers thrilled fans when they returned for a sold-out world trek in 2007 and 2008 – the first time the original line-up had performed together since Geri Halliwell quit to go solo in 1998.

Following the jaunt, Beckham vowed to hang up her microphone for good to concentrate on her fashion ventures.

The girl group is now reportedly eager to get back on stage – but singers Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm are struggling to persuade Beckham to join them, according to Britain’s Daily Mirror.

A source tells the publication, “The girls are so excited. They are buzzing about getting back together and each have so many new ideas and so much to bring to the table.

“They are desperate to get Posh (Beckham) on board, but that is the sticking point.

“Although she’s still so nostalgic about the good old days, she has moved on now and is relishing the fashion world. They don’t want to give up on her, but have so many plans.

“The way things are going they might have to go on without her if she doesn’t come round soon.”

Halliwell: ‘You Either Love Or Hate Beckham’

Geri Halliwell leaving the Adelphi theatre

Geri Halliwell has compared her Spice Girls bandmate Victoria Beckham to pungent yeast spread Marmite – insisting you either love her or hate her.

Halliwell, along with Beckham, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Emma Bunton, shot to fame in 1996 with their Wannabe track and went on to become the biggest girlband in British history.

When quizzed over who she believed was the most popular bandmember, Halliwell based her answer on the number of dolls in their likeness that were sold to fans.

And although the Look At Me singer is convinced Chisholm sold the least dolls, she insists it is Beckham who divides opinion most – claiming she’s “like Marmite”, a British breakfast spread which has such a distinctive taste it polarises the nation into ‘Love it/hate it’ groups.

Halliwell tells Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, “It would be according to what dolls are left on the shelf. I think probably Sporty (Chisholm). Do you know what, actually I always refer to Victoria… you’d get this very black or white feeling, either absolute adoration or not. She knows that, she’s like Marmite.

“I absolutely love her. The girl that I know has got absolutely nothing to do with the one I see in the media.”
